it is a digital effect on the blurring in this photo, there is not enough bokeh in G12, so the photoniccoalescence is correct :) Just click on the photo and view it big, we will see. Perfect composition and perfect angle :)

is not a blurring effect, is called bokeh, and is not "consistent" because bokeh depends on depth of field.

It's a decent shot, but it could be better if the blurring effect was consistent throughout the photo.
